Totally Delicious already has two cafes on the estate in the Italian Gardens.

Managing director Dominic Bowers said: “Our two other sites at Trentham have grown massively since we opened here seven years ago, but I have always thought that we should do more at Trentham and now we have the confidence to move into a new area of business.”

Totally Delicious is a catering solutions business which provides workplace cafes and catering services to businesses including Burslem insurance company Autonet and pottery firm Steelite International.

The company – which has its head office in Stone and employs more than 150 staff across its sites – also has tearooms at attractions including Middleport Pottery.

But this is the first restaurant opened by the company, a move which has created 15 new jobs.

Dominic added: “There is nothing like this at Trentham at the moment. It’s a place for friends to come and enjoy lunch together. It’s perfect for business meetings and after-work drinks. We’re also making it available for private functions.

“It’s very different from anything we’ve ever done before but we are in the right place to make a success of this.

“We are huge friends of the Trentham Estate and a big supporter of local businesses and we believe that the Totally Delicious Restaurant will help to bring in even more visitors to the shopping village. We are creating another reason for people to come to Trentham.”

Mike Herbert, director at the Trentham Estate, said: “Dominic and the Totally Delicious team are no strangers to Trentham, having established and grown the tearoom, kiosk and lakeside café within Trentham Gardens. It’s fantastic to see the brand expand to the even bigger and better Trentham Shopping Village.

“The fit-out of the restaurant has brought with it a very contemporary but welcoming feel, and we’re sure that visitors will be keen to try out the estate’s newest restaurant.”

The Totally Delicious Restaurant will open between 9am and 6pm every day apart from on Fridays and Saturdays when it will open until midnight.

Totally Delicious hosted a VIP evening on Monday night to mark the opening of the restaurant.

Elliott Hodges and Simon Gilbert - who both work at Trentham-based RJS Solicitors - were among the visitors on the evening.

Elliott, aged 28, of Nantwich said: "It was really enjoyable. It has a great atmosphere and great tasting food."

Simon, aged 31, of Stone, added: "As the name suggests, it was totally delicious. It's an ideal place to come for after-work drinks, a client meeting or a lazy Saturday afternoon."
